Verbrovibe Amp Combo
A hand-wired replica of the 1963 Fender Brown Vibroverb -- the first Fender circuit to build reverb in -- running 35 watts with tube reverb and bias-vary tremolo.
About this amp
The Verbrovibe reproduces the 1963 Brown Vibroverb, built for only a little over a year but influential on every reverb-equipped Fender amp through the Silverface era. It runs 35 watts on a pair of 5881 or 6L6GC tubes with two channels, tube reverb, and bias-vary tremolo, using custom Heyboer transformers built from the original data sheets and the period-correct tapped-treble control. Offered as a 1x12 or 2x10 combo, or as a head. Fully hand-wired, with alnico speaker upgrades and matching extension cabinets available.
